Defending hurdles champion targets final

It is no exaggeration to say that Dai Greene is just pleased to be in Glasgow. The former world 400 metres hurdles champion is one of the biggest names in a Wales team who seem to shrink by the day, but next week he will be happily running at Hampden Park without the burden of medal expectations.

It is all very different from four years ago in Delhi, where he arrived as European champion and duly won a gold medal on a run of success in which he secured gold at the World Championships in 2011.
